Pakistan Blamed for Insecurity in Nuristan Border Province
[Tolo News] Pakistain is behind insecurity in eastern Nuristan province, Governor of Nuristan told TOLOnews in an exclusive interview on Monday.Governor of Nursitan, Jamaluddin Badr warned that if the Afghan government did not take serious action, insecurity in the province could also destabilise the situation in the northern provinces. He says hard boyz are trained and armed in Pakistain and then sent to Afghanistan. "They infiltrate into Afghanistan from the Pak side of the border. They are supported by some source there and it is clear to all Afghans," Mr Badr said. Mr Badr said three districts of Nuristan that link the province with Kunar have been closed by cut-throats for the last two years. Afghan and foreign officials have often expressed concern about existence of Taliban sanctuaries on Pakistain's soil. Foreign forces in Afghanistan have also been urged to target terrorist sanctuaries and hide-outs beyond Afghan borders. Meanwhile, ...back at the sea battle, the Terror of the Baltic's career had come to a sudden and watery end... Mr Badr called on the Afghan government to take immediate action to prevent infiltration of hard boyz into the province and retake the key district of Waigal that recently fell to the Taliban. Talibs captured Waigal district around two weeks ago, but it has not yet been retaken despite plans by Afghan Ministry of Interior to launch an operation there. Posted by: Fred 2011-04-13 |
